Air France Aircraft Makes Emergency Landing in Lagos

An Air France aircraft, with 178 people aboard, made an emergency landing at Lagos's international airport Sunday after a faulty indicator showed a nose tyre pressure fault, an official statement said.

"The aircraft, which had a total of 178 souls on board with 168 passengers and 10 crew, landed safely," the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) said in the statement.

"The captain later explained to the NCAA that the nose tyre pressure indicator was faulty hence the wrong signal. The tyre pressure was later discovered to be in perfect condition," the statement said.
